CATCH UP TIME

I am finally posting a picture of the "A Little Porch Time" section that should have been finished the end of October. A lot of stitching to make this section. It is over 60 inches long. This month's section requires a lot of applique stitches to make it also and I have not started it yet.

I completed the last five applique blocks for "Mrs. Lincoln's Sampler Quilt". I have not made any of the pieced blocks.

I am still having a problem with my knee. It was getting better and I was able to get around without the walker. Still with a limp but without the walker made accessing things in the sewing room easier. Then two nights ago, I rolled over in bed and the pain set in again. It feels like muscles tightening. So back to the walker again. I spent time laying on the bed yesterday. Today I am able to put some weight on the leg but am still being very cautious. Not fun. I plan on sitting and doing some stitching today but no housework type stuff.

We are having cooler weather. We have company coming Thanksgiving Day and stay for several days. I hope the weather improves for them as they love warm weather.

Karen, so sorry that your knee is still bothering you!! Rest and enjoy the stitching time!!! Your applique blocks are beautiful!!! I'm anxious to see the whole quilt!! And of course your Porch Time is awesome!!

Oh Karen, really hoping you will feel better with your knee very soon. It's been a while... If you ever run out of projects need to stitch, I will send mines right over to keep you busy as I haven't been able to stitch anything these days. Your blocks look gorgeous :D

That is one tall panel on the Porch Time quilt!Those applique blocks are beautiful! Nice work! Good to have something to occupy your hands when you are restricted in activity.That darn knee! Hope you are up to having company for Thanksgiving. That could be tough to be the hostess without the ability to get around.

Oh, sorry about your knee pain. I have nerve pain in my feet and sometimes use a cane to get around. I do hope you get to feeling better soon.You have done a lot of stitching (to me). Stay positive by thinking how much you have finished.

Oh Karen--here's hoping your knee gets better soon!! As my son used to say, "you have a boo-boo knee"....take it really easy--have you tried one of those big bed pillows so you won't roll over on it? Julierose
